A groundbreaking treatise by one of the great mathematicians of our age, who outlines a style of thinking by which great ideas are conceived. What inspires and spurs on a great idea? Can we train ourselves to think in a way that will enable world-changing understandings and insights to emerge? Richard Hamming said we can. He first inspired a generation of engineers, scientists, and researchers in 1986 with "You and Your Research," an electrifying sermon on why some scientists do great work, why most don't, why he did, and why you can-and should-too. The Art of Doing Science and Engineering is the full expression of what "You and Your Research" outlined. It's a book about thinking; more specifically, a style of thinking by which great ideas are conceived. The book is filled with stories of great people performing mighty deeds-but they are not meant simply to be admired. Instead, they are to be aspired to, learned from, and surpassed. Hamming consistently returns to Shannon's information theory, Einstein's theory of relativity, Grace Hopper's work on high-level programming, Kaiser's work on digital fillers, and his own work on error-correcting codes. He also recounts a number of his spectacular failures as clear examples of what to avoid. Originally published in 1996 and adapted from a course that Hamming taught at the US Naval Postgraduate School, this edition includes an all-new foreword by designer, engineer, and founder of Dynamicland Bret Victor, plus more than 70 redrawn graphs and charts. The Art of Doing Science and Engineering is a reminder that a capacity for learning and creativity are accessible to everyone. Hamming was as much a teacher as a scientist, and having spent a lifetime forming and confirming a theory of great people and great ideas, he prepares the next generation for even greater distinction.

Quantum computing is radically different from the conventional approach of transforming bits strings from one set of 0's and 1's to another. With quantum computing, everything changes. The physics that we use to understand bits of information and the devices that manipulate them are totally different. The way in which we build such devices is different, requiring new materials, new design rules and new processor architectures. Finally, the way we program these systems is entirely different. Quantum engineering is a revolutionary approach to quantum technology. It encompasses both fundamental physics and the broad engineering skill-set necessary to meet the practical challenges of the future. The proposed book will cover the high-quality reviewed book chapters on original research & innovations and compelling insights in Quantum Computing and Engineering. Data scientists, Engineers, Industry, researchers and students working in the field of quantum computing and its allied research will benefit greatly from this publication.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) allows clinicians to monitor patients remotely via a network of wearable or implantable devices. The devices are embedded with software or sensors to enable them to send and receive data via the internet so that healthcare professionals can monitor health data such as vital statistics, metabolic rates or drug delivery regimens, and can provide advice or treatment plans based on this real-world, real-time data. This edited book discusses key IoT technologies that facilitate and enhance this process, such as computer algorithms, network architecture, wireless communications, and network security. Providing a systemic review of trends, challenges and future directions of IoMT technologies, the book examines applications such as breast cancer monitoring systems, patient-centric systems for handling, tracking and monitoring virus variants, and video-based solutions for monitoring babies. The book discusses machine learning techniques for the management of clinical data and includes security issues such as the use of blockchain technology. Written by a range of international researchers, this book is a great resource for computer engineering researchers and practitioners in the fields of data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence and the IoT in the healthcare sector.

Bioinspiration is recognized by the World Health Organization as having great promise in transforming and democratizing health systems while improving the quality, safety, and efficiency of standard healthcare in order to offer patients the tremendous opportunity to take charge of their own health. This phenomenon can enable great medical breakthroughs by helping healthcare providers improve patient care, make accurate diagnoses, optimize treatment protocols, and more. Unfortunately, the consequences can be serious if those who finance, design, regulate, or use artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for health do not prioritize ethical principles and obligations in terms of human rights and preservation of the private life.
